Dedham Midway not a big place but they did have a large variety menu. The food was good, cooked as we requested and the prices were very reasonable for the quantity of food plated. The restaurant is a local spot filled with mostly local and regular patrons. The staff was very personable, and when asked; gave some good dinner recommendations. We also noticed the staff interacting and gave the dinner crowd the best service as everyone here seemed to know oneanother by their first names. We will definitely go back and enjoy a few more dinners here again. read more

How have I not reviewed the Midway? This was my 6th time there and I should visit way more often. Old school vibe, lots of choices including some off the beaten path things, well priced, martinis with a sidecar. We split their large tater tots app and a grilled steak salad at about $11 and $15. Bob was an excellent bartender/server. Just love it there. read more

My colleague and I decided to try this restaurant after it was recommended by our hotel and mentioned as a local favorite. It definitely lived up to the recommendation. We arrived during the dinner rush and were lucky to get one of the last available tables. Despite how busy it was, we were seated quickly, and our server immediately went over the dinner specials with us. We started with the fried calamari, which was decent--nothing extraordinary, but still enjoyable. For our main dishes, I ordered the pistachio‑crusted haddock with grilled vegetables, while my colleague chose the fajitas. The dinner special was the highlight for me: the haddock was incredibly fresh, cooked perfectly, and wonderfully moist with a delicate, flaky texture. I loved it. My colleague said the fajitas were fine, though not particularly memorable for his taste. Service throughout the evening was excellent, especially considering the crowd. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal and the attentive service. I'd happily return the next time I'm in town. read more

Midway Restaurant - Thursday night special menu. Need a better print out - New American Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Ordered the king cut prime rib They do it differently here searing the surfaces. Looks more like steak . It was very good and medium as ordered. No au jus or dipping sauce provided? Had to ask for horse radish sauce. Baked potato was good. No Vegetables options? Other than butternut squash. Need more options. I wax told I could buy spinach option for 3.95? Used to serve a bread and butter before meal... none offered or an option 2 small butter packaged blocks served with baked potato .. no enough... soft butter in a condiment cup better . 34 bucks... was just ok read more

Really loving this place; excellent service, good food, standard fare recipes but executed really well!!! Walking in you're immediately placed in a different acoustic environs, more muted despite being a full crowd at 6p, perhaps due to the wood paneling or the carpeting. Definitely has some sort of old-school vibe to the restaurant. The menu is extensive, with many different selections in the appetizers and the mains sections, with an extensive specials menu. The beet salad with chicken was primarily functional, to provide greens, but it did have a really nice mix of greens and beets, and the chicken was grilled well. The breading on the calamari left a little to be desired, as it mostly fell off the calamari and wasn't crispy enough. It was cool however that they brought both a ranch-like dip and a marinara sauce, which interestingly had pickled jalapenos inside. The lamb lollipop special with a center of lobster risotto was decent; the lamb was not overcooked and the seasoning was quite delicious, if not entirely complex. The flavoring on the risotto definitely could have used some work, perhaps less cheese and butter and more of an herb flavor. I was really happy with the cook on the lamb though. The haddock came with "seasoned crumbs, bacon, tomatoes, scallions, cheddar & jack cheese"; sounds rich, but was a nice broiled meal. The balance on the flavors worked really well, and the fish itself was quite fresh. The sides (on this day, elected for rice pilaf and squash) could have used a bit more seasoning, and perhaps more interesting seasonings. Restaurant diners were treated to a one-man band (vocals, playing a drum machine, and also backgrounded with an instrumental track) sometime later in the evening; he was excellent and was a fun act to listen to and to watch! read more

Donna and her team are on top of giving A+ service. The food is always great and the drinks too. It's like stepping through time when you walk through those doors. Love the retro look. It is a casual place that offers trivia/ karaoke and sometimes physic reading check out their page for events ! read more

No internet password because of "security" concerns. If you like a very simple restaurant with mediocre service, this is your place!!

When you walk in, it is like entering a 70's lounge in the best possible way! The drinks are generous. Stuff clams were perfect- not overly spiced or bread like- fluffy with lots of clams- cooked to a crisp drizzled with a buffalo like sauce. We had a crock of the fish chowder- which was creamy and chocked full of fish. Then we shared the Kings cut Prime Rib- cooked perfectly med-rare. It came with 2 sides; we opted for the mashed red bliss potatoes and vegetable of the day cooked baby carrots. It was a great cut! Instead of the desserts, that all look tasty, but we decided on a hot chocolate with butterscotch schnapps and whipped cream. Delicious and perfect way to end a meal! I would go back for sure- service was amazing! Great prices, too. Enjoyed the live performer- not too loud and nice variety of songs. read more

Perfect service, but place was old and not smell good and the tortillas were not very tasty. I think it could be a good bar, but no good place for dinners. read more

Perfect town bar and restaurant, they featured Daly specials along with lunch menu. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable very informative and attentive ! Meatloaf lunch specials with 3 winds ... very good and great price. I got leftovers for dinner. Husband got the jumbalya... he said it was excellent. It is awarded winning! Peggy our server was great friendly and had good suggestions. We will be back for dinner to try prime rib! Yum! read more

It's looks like an old ninety nine in the inside with the captain chairs surrounding a giant bar. I got the steak tips and they were fantastic. Decent prices. I give it 5 stars based on the old school feel. I wish there were more of these places left. read more

I'm not from the area; was in town watching the marathon and needed a bite to eat. This place is a total boomer bar. You know, the kind that even sells keno AT the bar. As soon as you enter, you're practically belly up to the massive center bar. As two thirty-something's, it felt like the whole room stopped and wondered why we were there. Yikes. Nevertheless, we were seated at a booth by a nice hostess. Unfortunately, that's about all the niceties I've got. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, but when my order arrived it was a pulled pork burger (as in, pulled pork on top of a burger patty). Way too much food for me, so I flagged the waiter down and asked for the pulled pork sandwich. He insisted that the burger is what I asked for; they don't have a pulled pork sandwich on the menu. I was skeptical (I remembered seeing it pretty clearly), but I said ok can I just grab another menu? He said ok and left, and very shortly afterward came back and apologized that they do have a pulled pork sandwich. When the correct sandwich finally arrived, I'm not kidding when I say this was the least appetizing pulled pork I've ever seen-- complete mush. Also, there was cheese on top, so I think they just removed the burger patty and gave it back to me. I ate about half of it and gave up. No discount on check. Seems my experience is not typical of other reviewers, but worth writing. I would not come back if you paid me. read more

I was taken to the Midway for dinner last night & unexpectedly loved it! The menu has a wide variety of homey foods & all at very fair prices for being in the Boston area. We were seated immediately around 7:15, however, the place was packed! Understandably, it was a Thursday night & a DJ set up in the corner. The Midway is definitely home to a good collection of regulars & first comers, which made the atmosphere even better. In terms of the food, the portions are excellent. I, personally, ordered a Chicken Club and it was exactly as expected. Let me tell you, the fries here are incredible. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items! read more

Food was not good. I do not make this kind of post without a lot of thought. I had the meatloaf dinner. It came with two slabs of tasteless grilled meatloaf, a side of thick and lumpy onion gravy, terrible mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts that were water logged and soggy. I will never go back to this place. I was with two other people and their meals were similarly disgusting. The service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was ok. read more

This used to be a great restaurant years ago. We went there a while ago at noon. It wasn't very clean. Two very drunk women at the bar. We sat in a booth and waited....and waited. No one came with menus . We left and will never go back. read more

True Score: 2.75 Stars Disappointed Blast from the past. 70'S style décor inside. Typical pub food but with specials that will catch your eye. Known for their Meatloaf for years, it has expanded to seafood and unique dishes on the right day. Staff is always friendly but the prices have been creeping up for years. Live entertainment on Friday night and Saturdays their is always something, music, trivia, etc...... Drinks have gotten smaller of the years, sizewise but not the price. Good pours and rotating draft beers. Soups are always fresh as well as the salads. A step back in time and usually a place I really gravitate too, but the food was just mediocre at best. Thanks read more

Service and quality of food was great. Pork chops and turkey burger were excellent. Staff made everyone comfortable

My family is split between NH and RI and occasionally we meet somewhere in the middle for birthday celebrations. Today we chose the aptly named "Midway Restaurant" in Dedham. We were warmly greeted and given adjacent booths so there was plenty of room for our party of 5 plus presents. As first time diners our waitress gave us the run down of specials and house favorites, and one of the owners even stopped by our table to welcome us. Their menu literally has something for everyone. We had fried whole belly clams; shrimp, broccoli and pasta; homemade meatloaf; candied walnut and grilled chicken salad; and steak tips. Portions were large and delicious, and extra dressing, gravy, etc. were all delivered with a smile. At the end of the meal we pulled a birthday cake we had brought from home and the waitress not only brought us plates, but had secretly asked the other guests to join in on the "happy birthday" song. Plenty of other places we've been welcome outside cakes with an eye roll and a plate charge. I can happily say my family has found our new "midway" gathering spot! read more

This place never disappoints. I had the hamburger steak with onion gravy and at least a whole onion in the gravy. Steak was a full pound of sirloin. Smashed potatoes with fresh and perfect. I still had enough for lunch the next day. read more

Had a lovely afternoon in that area topped off at the Midway. Run, do not walked to this classic, old school restaurant and get the rib-eye PORK CHOP! Served with roasted potatos and garlic greenbeans. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. We had never been there before; We will be back!! read more

This is a wonderful old fashioned bar and grill. The people are friendly, the food is very good, great prices. The specials are usually good choices. Recently I had their chicken and sausage cacciatore, which was huge, flavorful and warming. Nothing fancy, but really fresh and flavorful. The club sandwiches are great, and their classic rump steak (not common these days, but a very tasty cut!) is dynamite! It can be crowded (not at all surprising, considering the quality and the prices) and sometimes I have picked up my credit card, and simply paid cash, as opposed of waiting for credit card processing (yes, it can be THAT busy). But that is not a deterrent! read more

I walked in to the Midway at 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon. I seated myself at a booth because all the bar seating was taken .I was promptly greeted by my waiter and another employee. The waiter took my order and the food arrived within a few minutes .The salad was delicious. The steak was a little chewy but it was cooked perfectly. Overall a great value! I wish I lived closer so I could be a regular. read more

Midway Restaurant - This is the Angus steak salad for 14.99. - New American Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Keep moving. Says it was established in 1947....and it shows. Food had NO SEASONING...my steak tips were LITERALLY SWIMMING in the bourbon glaze. That pic on the site is misleading. SWIMMING IN THE GLAZE! Came out on a fajita fryer...why? It wasn't sizzling. Sides were meh. Sister had the roasted chicken....again...swimming in sweet chili sauce. WHY?? Ppl there were regulars and clearly do not mind the food. I will never be able to say that because I am not ever going back! Disgusting and disgusted! read more

-3.95% if you pay cash under Covid conditions. This place hasn't changed in 30 years and that's a good thing! Large bar are in the middle and booths surrounding it, drinks are solid and food portions are large. We stopped by on Sunday while in the area, greeted by a friendly staff and were seated immediately. Love the old school feel of this place. Food was amazing, we got the Shrimp cocktail to start and the sauce is of local legend, and met our expectations. Steak was cooked perfect, Turkey club was HUGE and delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

Our family has recently discovered this gem of a restaurant and it has quickly become my favorite place in the area for dinner. Some of the things I love: Great menu, 50+ sandwiches, entres, and weekly specials. Amazing waitstaff. Keno with lots of monitors Sports on most TVs Great IPAs on draft Some nights trivia or musical entertainment. Inexpensive! I love the Midway Restaurant! read more

I had their Egg Plant Parmesan last night and it was outstanding-delicious. The best I've had in 20 years of living in Dedham. Egg plant and paste were cooked el dente, and the marinara sauce had great tomato taste. Also it was a large portion which I appreciated. Great work Chef and staff. read more

Good menu & food. Prices still reasonable. Old school. Drinks have a kick. Local hangout.

We ordered a Black & Burger without Jack Sauce - it has Jack sauce on it. We also ordered chicken broccoli ziti - it arrives as shrimp, broccoli ziti. It was supposed to have a side salad with creamy peppercorn dressing - a Greek salad is what we got. We ordered a cheddar burger - it arrives as a chicken parmigiana sandwich. It's hard to fathom this many screwups in one order. read more

Last week I had the most delicious meal again! This time I got 1 1/4 lb boiled lobster with fries and it was cooked perfectly!

A classic. Legendary! You will feel you have gone back in time. The prices are so low but the food is sooo good.

Not happy with food and service. Food was tasteless and very greasy. Love the ambience but will not order food here anymore.

A nice place to eat. Food is good and the service excellent and the prices good. And the costumers too.

The Hubbs and like coming here as we know what to expect. Meals are basic and we like that it is a real local place.

What a surprise! I was driving by and noticed the cute cow on the sign and how old the restaurant was and had to try it. Everything was so good and such a good deal! The house specialty seems to be the beef dishes, so we got the beef fajitas and it was really really good! A huge pile of rare meat, nice cooked veggies and all the fixings. My grandma got stuffed peppers and loved it, they were massive too, enough for 4 dinners for her. I also got the jack Daniels chicken sandwich, which was really flavorful and big. The fries were so crispy and fresh too. Every entre was under 10$, almost too good a deal! The staff was super friendly and helpful too. I'll certainly be back. Been back. The steak tips are crazy good and only 10$. Amazing lunch. read more
